The release of carbon dioxide into the air from factory smokestacks to the tailpipe on your car could pose a risk to red king crab and other lucrative fisheries in Alaska, a new report says. The research, led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was to be published Tuesday, July 29, 2014, in the online journal Progress in Oceanography.
